Re: The Taproom

Huoommmm ... yes, 116 indeed ... all painted individually ... huom ... 36 archers, 48 spearmen, 24 swordmen, 6 riders and a standard-bearer and an officer ... rhuoommmm ... it's quite a lot, isn't it? ... I've assembled them by now ... they're all based on the Mithril-NĂºmenorians including very nice conversions .... rhuoommm ... just waiting for better weather to take some pictures ... rhuoommm ... I cannot haste, you know ... huom

Re: The Taproom

I shall look forward to seeing these. Are they your own conversions, or have you obtained them all from someone else? And does painting so many also indicate that you're a gamer, Master Tree? I don't think I'd realised that before.

Re: The Taproom

Wow!

That's amazing Master Tree!

116? I think I may - stress, may -  have that many Mithril Orcs, and most of those are plain Mithril orcs. Nothing fancy, no clever conversions, and besides, they are only orcs.

But I'd love to see your men of Numenor.

Re: The Taproom

I rather feel like Bilbo in the next MX ... puzzled, simply trying to cope with all that what is going on around  me ... huommm ... have to swipe my forehead with whatever kind of cloth is next to my hand ... rhuoommm ... huoommm ... I can cope with that, I'm sure ... huomrhuooommmhomhom ...

Just don't use the cloth I use to wipe the sweat off the scumpy barrels, or your head will dissolve.

Re: The Taproom

A mere £4,000 or so? Why not order a six-pack and give them to your friends at Christmas? But I wonder what their intrinsic value is? - I mean, how much they actually cost per unit to manufacture.

Re: The Taproom

May you give Master Gavin a huge drink of whatever he prefers, Master Barli.
He did inform us about the Razarac, very kind indeed of him !
Thank you, Gavin.

Re: The Taproom

A side note for all, Jim Corless of Time Machine miniatures is closing out his lines of the old Gondor and Orc warband minis.  First come first serve I guess, so if anyone is interested in picking up a few extra of those, now would be the time.

Re: The Taproom

That's sad news. Fortunately I don't need any myself at the moment, but it's a shame that they're not going to be around any more for those odd occasions when extras might be needed.

Re: The Taproom

It's sad because I was vaguely considering buying another set of each for my eventually Pelennor Fields diorama.

Eventually.

I might ask him to save me two sets and see if he'll let me pay in October...

Re: The Taproom

In all my dealings with Jim, he has always been courteous, accommodating, and upfront.  He is the single and only reason I was reintroduced to Mithrils and became aware of the vast collection of unparalleled miniatures that had been produced (and are still being produced!)

It wouldn't hurt to ask!

Re: The Taproom

Huooommrhuoommm ... Master Presto, I can confirm all the adjectives you used about Master Corless , as from my experience, all of them are true ... rhooumm ...
Huom ... I also feel sorry that he's decided to stop producing those two armies by the end of this month ... rhuoomm ... ... huoommm ... though  I can tell that he does not give up his passion for Mithril with doing that ... rhuoommhuom ...

Re: The Taproom

Looking at the cup being half-full rather than half-empty, the fact that his range was available for as long as it was is something we should be thankful for. My three regiments of Orc archers would have been more boring (and more expensive!) but for the existence of the Time Machine range and Jim's preparedness to knock them out when I needed them. I hope he's not also going to discontinue the 54mm range? I don't collect this scale, but it would be sad if the world at large was deprived of their existence permanently.

On a happier note, I'm glad to see that the mounted Radagast figure won this month's GF poll. Can't remember who suggested it, but well done and congratulations, whoever you were. And it would be nice to see the cat in his saddle-bag, as Master Holger suggested!

Re: The Taproom

mmhh I plan to ask this little Nob to do some changes and ameliorations maybe for the 100th page I suppose. Maybe a new taproom is in order we'll see smile

for the time being well it's not often that I share rumors, I prefer sharing facts... but well , some rumors are good too indeed master tree... so master butterbur.... I think I need something fresh, a cider maybe? as I think to have heard rumours of a big bearded and hairy man angry with a hammer in his hand to show his face in not too long... but you know, with these rumors we never know...  well what was I asking... ah yes... a cider! a pint please
